Anyone up for this? What started as an e30 rally last year has now become just a BMW Rally. We went 3 times last year and it was a blast. Eventually e36 M3's were driving down from Cincy to participate so we figure open it up for everyone :)

Plan as of now:

Leave Atlanta area around 2pm Friday May 16th and drive up to campsite. Get setup and sleep. Wake early for a Dragon Run and head over to the Skyway and all over the place. Get some food and do it all again. Head back to camp for bull shitting and dinner and fun. Sunday we repeat in the morning and then Convoy back to ATL...

Anyone that wants more details just post and I will PM with the full schedule.

Heading to the dragon:

I got called out to a meeting in the middle of forming a response.

Hope this is better.
How in the hell does philip know what halston's 8==> looks like? I do believe that he was doing more than delivering parts the other day. Me thinks this is how he keeps business at Global. :bj

What is wrong with 14's? kendogg auto-x on 14s and so do others. Come out and have some fun.

I really need to get an E30 that I can beat on.

Or you can bring your e36 m3 and just cruise like I will be in the 5er. I plan on being last at every section.


I can't seem to figure out the stigma that we will be racing down the tail of the dragon. We will NOT be doing this and the attendees are much more adult than your average meet. The average age may be in the high 20's.

Bring out the cars for some camping and good campfire time and make some new friends. Forget about wheels and tires and all of that worry.

Will be in a 1986 535i w/o Sport Suspension and stock suspension...
